Reviews (0)

Analgesiometer is an electronic device used to measure pain intensity. The analgesiometer is a non-invasive method of measuring pain intensity. It consists of a small sensor attached to the skin over the painful area.

The hot plate analgesiometer measures pain sensitivity in animals by applying heat to their paws and observing their reaction. The principle behind the hot plate analgesiometer is that animals will exhibit specific behavioral responses when exposed to heat, such as licking, lifting, or shaking their paws.

Salient Features :

Temperature Control: Precise temperature control allows for the adjustment of the hot plate surface temperature, ensuring consistent and reproducible experimental conditions.
Temperature Display: Apparatus is provided with a digital display forreal-time monitoring of the hot plate temperature, enabling researchers to maintain desired temperature settings throughout experiments.
Platform Size: The hot plate platform is typically spacious enough to accommodate various sizes of experimental animals, ranging from mice to larger rodents like rats.
Uniform Heating: Even distribution of heat across the hot plate surface minimizes temperature gradients, ensuring uniform stimulation and reliable experimental results.
Customizable Settings: Adjustable parameters such as temperature range, ramp-up time, and duration of stimulus exposure allow researchers to tailor experiments to their specific requirements.

How it works –

The hot plate is heated to a specific temperature.
The animal is placed on the hot plate.
A timer is started.
The timer is stopped when the animal lifts its paws.
The time it took for the animal to react is displayed.

What it’s used for

Pain research
Researchers use the hot plate analgesiometer to study pain perception and the effectiveness of analgesic drugs.
Drug screening
